Candice West R.M.T.

REGISTERED MASSAGE & HYDROTHERAPY CLINIC

About the Therapist...

My name is Candice West. I am a registered massage therapist, with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario and the Ontario Massage Therapists Association. I graduated the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 1999. As a member with the CMTO I am required to take continuing education courses and have decided on a few to start. I am interested in pregnancy massage, infant massage, craniosacral massage, deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage and aromatherapy. I hope that you will feel free to bring in your own music tapes, request deeper or lighter pressure, ask questions about your treatment plan and most of all enjoy your healing experience at my clinic.

Hydrotherapy is a part of the training at the school I attended, CCMH. Right now I practice with heating bags, a cool humidifier, epsom salt baths, foot baths, hand/arm washes and ice. As my modest practice grows I will encorporate a hydroculator (moist heat to reach your muscles which is further than the skin/heating pad use), aromatherapy, paraffin wax, body wraps (like a salt glow) and more.

I have practiced Meditation and Hatha Yoga for two years. With this experience, when my clients wish it, I can incorporate meditation and breathing exercises into their home care for healing. Have you ever meditated on healing yourself? If you are interested in trying meditation to better your health life, today could be the day to start. I can show you one of many places to start. Do you know how to breathe? It sounds odd but, proper breathing techniques help you decrease pain. I try to live a healthy life by finding my mind-body balance through Hatha Yoga and mental exercises.
